Congressman Garamendi, I want to thank you for your leadership. You are such an addition to this Congress. The people of California certainly made the right decision in sending you here. And you know, this happens to be the week of the…

Thank you for recognizing that. That lost productivity is of deep concern.

I put that number about $4 a gallon.

Its absence is particularly troubling to this member.

If the evidence shows that unaddressed mental illness, coupled with guns and disturbing Internet postings were contributing factors, as when two Capitol Police officers were gunned down just a decade ago outside this Chamber, then Congress…

If the gentlelady would yield one second, there is one figure I could put on the record, that is, during the first 18 months of the Obama administration, we have already created more jobs than in the entire 8 years of the Bush…

Please allow me to express my sincerest gratitude to UAW President Ron Gettelfinger for his leadership during this extraordinary moment of transition for the U.S. auto industry. His strength, composure, intellect, and resolve have turned a…

What amazed me is when all of the house of cards started to fall, sometimes in my part of the country you see chipmunks tearing across the concrete, and they go so fast. The minute they got in trouble, what did they do, they came under the…

I would suggest for the local grown, local farm to school effort, one of our problems in the region I represent is processing.

I see peppers on the shelf that are local supermarkets from foreign countries.

I am wondering if you could provide us any insight into measuring the impact of USDA programs.

With your power at USDA, I would really challenge you to consider some pilot counties, and to think about your programs and their impact on local agriculture.

I know the WIC Farmers' Market Coupon Program functions at some level in my area, but I don't know how much.
